Coventry City prepare to entertain Wigan Athletic at Highfield Road Stadium on Wednesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Sky Blues have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highfield Road Stadium was just last season, in September 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Coventry City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Sky Blues's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Wigan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Latics, and 5 goals against.
Coventry City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 33 matches. Wigan Ath. are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 63 points from the 33 games they have played so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Sky Blues at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Latics come away with an easy victory. Away win
